Authorities search for Michigan woman who called for help before vanishing

Authorities in Michigan are still searching for a woman who frantically called someone for help before disappearing last week.

An unnamed individual in Warren, Michigan, contacted the Benzie County Sheriff’s Office early Thursday morning, saying 47-year-old Adrienne Quintal had called them asking for help from her family’s cabin in the village of Honor where she was visiting. Authorities rushed to the residence and discovered “evidence of possible foul play,” but they were unable to locate Quintal, according to a press release from the sheriff’s office.

Quintal’s family and friends haven’t heard from her since. She left behind her personal property, including her car, cellphone and purse, the sheriff’s office said.

On Saturday, investigators scoured the wooded area surrounding the cabin but the search didn’t turn up any new clues.
